A romantic Italian vacation. A missing fresco. And a dangerous antiquities thief.

Samantha Caine

Ten days in Naples with Antonio should be the vacation of a lifetime. But an invite to join my former FBI mentor on a case in Rome has me torn: Sexy new boyfriend versus my childhood dream of investigating art crimes.

When Antonio and I discover several ancient relics and critical equipment have been stolen from his worksite in Pompeii, it's my opportunity to have both—if I can just convince him to work with me.

Antonio Ferraro, Ph.D.

After this vacation, Samantha and I will be on separate continents for four months. I want to focus on building our relationship, but her overwhelming need to find the missing antiquities makes me doubt her commitment. Despite my reservations, I agree to help her track them down.

We've got ten days and a city full of suspects, including a member of my family I can't tell her about. Every step brings us closer to the thief. I fear it also brings us closer to a showdown which risks not just our future together—but her life.

Secrets, obsessions, and family loyalties collide in this international romantic suspense mystery.

Chasing Caine is the second installment in the Caine & Ferraro series, featuring a strong heroine, an Italian love interest, and an art-world mystery in every book. The main couple is together from book one, with no cheating and no cliffhangers.
